O.K., not what you thought. But all I needed for now.
Here is some shots of the reason for the low flight
Aircraft leveled pitch, and roll. This fixture holds the pant level also, adjustable feet allow the fixture to be fine tuned for sloped floor.
The pant rides on a couple of #30 drills, allows the pant to move on the roll axis to align with the tire vert centerline.
Here it is with the front and rear half of the pant held in place by the pins (drills).
As can be seen here, each adjustment of the pant fit, required a re-positioning of the jig----line on the alum angle is centered, matches up with line on floor that is drawn off from fuse center line.
Test fit of leg fairing, and cuffs. Also, you can see the blue chalk line for the fuse center----plumb bob fore/aft to determine line location.
I did move the pant forward a bit, this moved the outboard attach point aft about 1/2" so the screw would clear the split line in the pant.
More later, thanks for looking.
